Parking in St Columb Major is generally relaxed compared to the coast. The town relies on one main long-stay car park located a short walk from the centre. While you can park on-street in the Market Place for very short periods, spaces are rare and the road is tight.
For a stress-free visit, head straight to Trekenning Road and enjoy the pleasant walk into town past the Recreation Ground.
Our Top Picks
Save time by heading straight to the car park that matches your plans.
- Best for Everything (The Main Hub): Trekenning Road Car Park. The primary car park for the town. It is spacious, easy to access from the A39/A3059, and avoids the narrow town centre lanes.
- Best for Quick Stops: Market Place (On-Street). Located right in the centre of town. Spaces are free but limited to 30 minutes (check signs). Ideal for popping into the pharmacy or bakery.
- Best for the Church: West Street (Church). There is very limited parking near the church gates, but it is best to stick to Trekenning Road unless you have mobility issues.
Town Centre & Long Stay
The main car park is managed by the Town Council and is a reliable spot for visitors.
